This is your basic strategy game. Graphics are still rudimentary where they exist. I am still developing this and trying to make it more entertaining and graphically interesting and simpler to play.

Okay, this isn't really a useful post, but I did want you to know that I actually loaded your game to my PPC and looked at it.  It looks pretty sharp.  I just need to read the HTML file so I can figure out what to do   I would offer one suggestion, though.  You might consider making the dialogs using the GameAPI instead of standard windows forms.  It just sort of throws off the feel of the game when you go from a cool looking game screen to plain old windows dialog screen.  Just a thought.

Yes, Richard, this looks promising. Just had a few minutes today playing, experienced one crash and wanted to give you a "please go on!" Strategy games of this kind are rather hard to find for the PocketPC...

Nice work so far. Looks very indepth. I don't mind much the Windows dialogs, they look nice and clean. But again, GameAPI dialogs would definitaly look more polished.

Yes I was struggling with how to use the gameapi to get user input. Are there any examples of gameapi "input" forms? How would you do a simple text box?
